Before we submitted our work we wanted to make sure that our target audience were happy with the outcome of our Poster, Magazine Cover and Teaser Trailer. This will enable us to judge whether we followed our research into all three formats well or we needed to revisit some of them and make some adjustments.
For our Magazine and poster, we displayed it on the projector in front of our fellow peers in our Media Studies class, we figured that since most of them enjoyed romantic comedy and fell into the age range of our target audience it will be a good Idea to get feedback from them. Although they had already seen the first draft s of both our magazine cover, poster and suggested a few changes which we took on board, we wanted to see if our revision had paid off. Last time we showed them both, their key points were the image being over posed, the lack of variety of fonts for the different subtitle and the dull colours of our magazine although we did explain the red was meant to signify love and romance. This time around we had a lot of positive feedback on both and most of the participants suggested they will be interested to watch it if they saw the poster or magazine cover somewhere.
For our teaser Trailer we uploaded it onto Facebook where we are aware most of our target audience will visit because of our research into where other romantic comedy films will tease their audience.

The feedback we got was positive however there were comments about the shaky camera; they suggested that although not a major issue but quite annoying. We did acknowledge this was a mistake but after discussing it as a group we decided not to change this because it will be time consuming and the shaky camera gave it a ‘home video’ effect and a sense of reality so we decided to keep this.
We also had a criticism about the voice over being a little flat, although this is very important but we felt like making the voice over too comical will take away the romance in the Teaser Trailer. However we chose to lengthen the time spam of our title in our tear trailer and the ‘Coming Soon’ after a few people suggested it was too short. We figured this is very important because wanted our audience to be familiar with our title. Over we had really positive feedback most people said it was teasing because they we not sure why the main character was imperfect and wanted to watch more to find out.
We also designed a questionnaire where we were able to preview our teaser trailer before we submitted it to our teacher along side with our poster and magazine Cover.
Our questions entailed:
1. How old are you?
2. Do you feel all three products suggest the Romantic Comedy genre?
3. Are the images on the Magazine and Poster appropriate for our film?
4. Do you feel the font works on each of these products?
5. Would you go and see the film after seeing these three products?
6. Which products do feel appeals to you most?
7. Are there any improvement you would suggest?
Most of the questions had the same response were all our peers was happy with our products and fell into the same age range. Except question seven and eight where answers was generally down to personal choice and also question eight was a open question and individual response differed.
For the open question we had one person comment about the lack of emphasises on the ‘prejudice’, although we did at the beginning consider to including something that related to why he was ‘imperfect’ but we decided against it because we felt we will be giving too much away and the whole point of a teaser trailer is to keep our audience guessing and wondering.
We also had a comment on where we placed our variety of shots from our teacher but she acknowledge she was not our target audience so we decided to ask the class if they felt this was an issue but they were happy with where everything was so we decided not to change this.
Over all, we adjusted certain things in our teaser trailer such as the length of the title but we didn’t have any major criticism that we felt will cost us a lot of marks so we are happy with the result.
